Transcripts, search, channels, playlists — one API key. ### Setup If $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY is not set, help the user create an account (100 free credits, no card): Step 1 — Register: Ask user for their email. node ./scripts/tapi-auth.js register --email USER_EMAIL → OTP sent to email. Ask user: "Check your email for a 6-digit verification code." Step 2 — Verify: Once user provides the OTP: node ./scripts/tapi-auth.js verify --token TOKEN_FROM_STEP_1 --otp CODE API key saved to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. See File Writes below for details. Existing file is backed up before modification. Manual option: transcriptapi.com/signup → Dashboard → API Keys. ### File Writes The verify and save-key commands save the API key to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (sets skills.entries.transcriptapi.apiKey and enabled: true). Existing file is backed up to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak before modification. To use the API key in terminal/CLI outside the agent, add to your shell profile manually: export TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY= ### API Reference Full OpenAPI spec: transcriptapi.com/openapi.json — consult this for the latest parameters and schemas. ### Auth All requests: -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY" ### Endpoints Channel endpoints accept channel — an @handle, channel URL, or UC...

Use channel/latest (free) to check for new uploads before fetching transcripts — pass @handle directly. For research: search → pick videos → fetch transcripts. Free tier: 100 credits, 300 req/min.
